The Prodigy has always been and always will be one of the fucking best bands to have ever existed. Have been luckily enough to see them live a few times including at MK Bowl and they're easily the best thing I've ever seen live. The people at #Glastonbury are gonna remember this forever.

Gearing up for #eurovision tonight while listening to the RemixEverything unofficial Eurovision release! It's pay-what-u-can on Bandcamp and all proceeds go for the Good Law Project who fight for things like social justice, green issues and LGBTQ+ rights.

(2/3):

* In 2023, spotify's revenue was $14.06bn, and they paid out $9bn. Which means they paid out 64% of their revenue

* In 2024, spotify's revenue was $16.83bn, and they paid out $10bn, which is 59.42% of their revenue.

i.e: Spotify reduced their payouts almost 5% in the last year...

Headline: "Spotify paid out a record £7.7bn in royalties in 2024"
Very well and good it seems. But I can't help raising a quizzical eyebrow.
So, after a quick google I found the following... (1/3)

I feel like this first post on Bluesky should be a profound quote from a sci-fi classic, maybe a quip from a famous philosopher or intellectual.

I put gingerbread syrup on my breakfast this morning, and it was nice.

So, let yourself be the sweet gloop added to your friends lives.

Or something.
